26AXIS 243SA - Audio

Depending on the selected encoding, set the desired Bit rate (audio quality). The settings depend on the available bandwidth and the required audio quality, that is, a high bit rate setting requires more bandwidth.

Audio Output

If the sound from the speaker is too low or high it is possible to adjust the output gain for the active speaker attached to the Axis video server.

When satisfied with the settings, click Save, or click Reset to revert to the previously saved settings.

Advanced Audio Settings

The Advanced Quality Settings allows you to tune the audio input to suit your environment.

Enable speech filter improves the sound quality while using a microphone that is placed close to the person talking and can also help reduce background noise. The filter cuts the lowest and the highest frequencies. The bypass frequency range is approximately 250Hz to 3700Hz (measured at -10dB cut-off points).

Enable echo cancellation can reduce the feedback generated when using full duplex. If there is sound distortion, turning echo cancellation off may improve the sound quality.

Noise cancelling helps reduce background noise when there is no useful audio present. A typical application could be when there is a noisy environment and you are only interested in hearing the sound when someone is speaking close to a microphone. There are two adjustable parameters available to optimize this function:

Noise canceller threshold value

Noise canceller attenuation

When the incoming sound is louder than the threshold, it will pass without changes. When lower than the threshold, the incoming sound is reduced by a certain attenuation factor. The threshold value should be set higher than the background noise, but lower than the useful audio.
